More on NSA

“With data privacy and security concerns top of mind after NSA, PRISM and other revelations
around the world, businesses in the UK are taking real action,” said Robert Miggins, SVP business
development, PEER 1 Hosting. “Many are moving data outside of the US, and even more are making
security and privacy their top concerns when choosing where to host their company data.”

Peer 1 which is based in Vancouver with its European operations headquartered in Southampton,
has 16 datacentres across North America and Europe. Its research stated that almost 70% of UK
businesses would sacrifice performance to ensure data sovereignty.

Additionally the top three concerns for UK businesses when choosing where to store company data
are security (96%), performance (94%) and reputation (87%).

But organisations are struggling to understand laws surrounding data and data security. 60%
admit to not knowing as much as they should and 44% feel that privacy and security laws confuse
them.
